Gradual solubilization ofCandidacell wall β-glucan by oxidative degradation in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998
Candida spp. is a medically important fungi which induces disseminated candidiasis and candidemia in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. The cell wall of Candida is mainly composed of two polysaccharides, mannan and beta-glucan, and at least part of beta-glucan is basically insoluble in H2O or NaOH. We became interested in when and how particulate

Protective effect of β-glucan against systemicStreptococcus pneumoniaeinfection in mice [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2000
The antimicrobial effect of soluble beta-1,3-D-glucan from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SSG) was examined in mice experimentally infected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 4 and 6B. SSG was administered i.p. either 3 days before challenge or 3-48 h after challenge.

Purification, Preliminary Structural Characterization, and In Vitro Inhibitory Effect on Digestive Enzymes by β-Glucan from Qingke (Tibetan Hulless Barley)

Advances in Polymer Technology, 2020
Background and Objective. Qingke (Tibetan hulless barley, Hordeum vulgare L.) contains a high content of β-glucan among all the cereal varieties. Although β-glucan has multiple physiological functions, the physiological function of qingke β-glucan was ...

Individual and Interactional Effects of β-Glucan, Starch, and Protein on Pasting Properties of Oat Flours [PDF]

, 2010
Seven experimental oat lines with high (6.2−7.2%), medium (5.5−5.9%), and low (4.4−5.3%) β-glucan concentrations were evaluated for contributions of β-glucan, starch, protein, and their interactions, to pasting properties of oat flours by using a Rapid ...

Characterization of an unglycosylated low molecular weight 1,4-β-glucan-glucanohydrolase ofTrichoderma reesei [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990
A low molecular weight endoglucanase (1,4-beta-glucan glucanohydrolase E.C.3.2.1.4) was purified to homogeneity by a two-step procedure from 7 day old culture filtrates of Trichoderma reesei. The endoglucanase was obtained by BioGel A 0.5 m gel chromatography followed by preparative PAGIF. The purified endoglucanase was homogeneous upon titration curve

Stimulation of human neutrophil phagocytosis ofCandida albicansby a β-glucan synthase inhibitor, cilofungin [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991
The effect of a lipopeptide antifungal agent, cilofungin, on serum opsonization and phagocytosis of Candida albicans yeast phase cells in human neutrophil monolayer assays was investigated. Simultaneous addition of fungicidal concentrations of cilofungin did not enhance or inhibit phagocytosis of C. albicans.

Optimizing the synthesis of yeast Beta-glucan via response surface methodology for nanotechnology application

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The production of biopolymers from waste resources is a growing trend, especially in high-population countries like Egypt. Beta-glucan (β-glucan) belongs to natural polysaccharides that are derived from plant and microbial origins.

β-Glucan production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in medium with different nitrogen sources in air-lift fermentor

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2007
β-Glucan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall. The aim of this research is to explore an alternative nitrogen sources for β-glucan production. S. cerevisiae were grown in fermentation medium with different nitrogen sources. Peptone 2%, glutamic acid 0,5%, urea 0,2%, and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (

β-Glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003
The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced phagocytic activity.
